On this edition of our 7 PM EST post of ‘The Latest’ we will talk about the special announcement we promised we would release, an update on the 7.7 earthquake in Papua New Guinea along with the tsunami it triggered, and the warm up headed for the Northeast, specifically the NYC Metro Area, where temperatures could soar over fifteen degrees.

The Latest: Final update of the Papua New Guinea earthquake and tsunami

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake on the Richter Scale that shook up parts of Papua New Guinea yesterday has caused tens of large, over 4.0, aftershocks that have reminded locals and travelers there that earthquakes don’t just affect several seconds. The small and local tsunami created by the initial 7.7 earthquake was measured around two meters at it’s top in Papua New Guinea according to some reports. Earthquakes such as the 7.7 in Papua New Guinea test the different tsunami warning centers every time they occur, this makes sure that when there are larger earthquakes and tsunamis that the warning centers are able to issue correct and more accurate watches, warnings, and advisories.

The Latest: Warm up for the winter weary NYC, Boston, and the Northeast as a whole soon!

After the brutal winter and the morning snow has moved through the Northeast, many are hoping for a mild start to April across the I-95 Corridor. The truth is though, that although over the next week there will be more warmth and mild temperatures across the Northeast, there is the potential for some more cold to come in briefly overt the next two weeks before being purged out of the Northeast by the springtime air. Be ready for warmer temperatures, but be aware that there may be some more cold spells in store for the Northeast.

The Latest: Weather 360 news along with our announcement

What Weather 360 would like to say is that our Hurricane Season 2015 cyclone prediction will be released BEFORE June 1st, meaning, with all the combined information from other organizations (ex: Colorado and NHC) along with several other different sources, Weather 360 will provide an official Hurricane Season 2015 cyclone preliminary prediction (number of cyclones only, ex: named, hurricanes, major hurricanes.)

Until then, stay safe!

After shocks continue in Southwestern Pacific, warm is in the forecast for the Northeast US

March 30, 2015March 30, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperatures, Northeast, tsunamiLeave a comment

Hundreds of smaller aftershocks are shaking up Papua New Guinea today after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck yesterday. Back to the Northeast, warm temperatures, and some more snow are in the forecast.

Tomorrow evening and night in cold enough areas of parts of New England and northern portions of the Mid Atlantic, there will be some snow and wintry mix as the result of the transition from rain to frozen precipitation. Though some cold temperatures and freezing precipitation tomorrow night is expected, warmer temperatures are on the way for the Northeast’s major cities, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, etc. By the end of this week there is the potential for a day of very mild temperatures all over New England and the Mid Atlantic (around 60 degrees in the NYC Metro Area, with temperatures slightly cooler/warmer depending on location.)

Be prepared for a sudden warm up then another small cool down over the next several days, and as always stay safe!

There is going to be a special announcement regarding this website either in today’s edition of ‘The Latest’ or tomorrow.

Update on snow in the Northeast and earthquake/tsunami in Pacific

March 30, 2015March 30, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, Northeast, tsunamiLeave a comment

As several light to moderate bands of snow move through the Northeast, new observations from Papua New Guinea are starting to come in. Overnight, there were two more earthquakes in the area, causing a tsunami statement to be released (both earthquakes were around 6.5.)

The earthquake created a small tsunami measures around one meter (3 feet) according to one report in Papua New Guinea, there was no other observations of a tsunami. More after shocks are expected throughout the Southwestern Pacific.

The snow in the Northeast has brought around a fresh new inch across some areas, but otherwise, not much more in way of accumulations today in the Northeast because soon in inmost places the temperatures will warm to above freezing.

Stay safe!

The Latest: Spring snow could cause travel hazards tomorrow, but then…

March 29, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, black ice, current weather conditions, forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, Mid Atlantic, National Weather Service, NortheastLeave a comment

Tomorrow some spring snow showers are expected to move through northern portions of the Northeast United States. This could create some slippery roadways across areas affected by the snow and wintry mix.

The Latest: Next several day temperature forecast

Over the next several days warmer and more mild temperatures will briefly invade the Mid Atlantic and New England, before cooler temperatures take over once more. This may mean that any crops that were supposed to be planted in early April may have to have their planting dates delayed (anyways, most small gardens in New England still are covered with snow.) Be prepared for some temperature fluctuations over the next several days, bringing with it the possibility of late night and morning snow or wintry mix.

The Latest: When will all the snow melt!

As the snow line continues to recede across the Northeast and all of the United States, temperatures continue to rise steadily (well, at least for the most part…)

The question is though, how long until the Northeast for the most part is free of snow?

At the moment, most of the Mid Atlantic is snow free, but just north of New York City, according the National Snow Analyses, the snow depth is very close to zero, steadily rising as you look further north. Again, back to the question, how long until it all melts? In southern parts of New England, the snow should be mostly if not totally gone by the end of the week after next (not the snow in piles.) In the rest of New England, most of the snow will likely be gone completely sometime later in April or in very early May. Be aware of the potential for some black ice on roadways, and stay safe!

The Latest: Cold start to April, milder May?

March 28, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, NortheastLeave a comment

For anyone in the Northeast, it is quite obvious that there is a colder than average March this year. From the still melting snow to the newly fallen snow, winter’s wrath has obviously not ended yet.

The Latest: Temperature forecast for early spring

Currently, all over the Northeast, temperatures are well below average.

Way to state the obvious, but when will warm temperatures arrive?

As the information becomes more and more available, Weather 360 can more confidently state that later April and early May will be closer to the average and therefore mild side in way of temperatures. Still don’t put away the winter gear, winters wrath is not over yet.

The Latest: If you shouldn’t put the winter gear away yet, what does that mean for early April?

Early April is still expected to be cooler in way of temperatures, allowing for the possibility of some more snow to fall in the Northeast. We will keep you updated as more information comes out.

Stay safe!

The Latest: Hurricane Season 2015 Analysis

March 28, 2015March 28, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged amount of snow, Atlantic Hurricane Season, forecasts, high temperatures, hurricane season, Hurricane Season 2015, National Weather Service, NortheastLeave a comment

Over the past several decades, data has been collected about hurricane forecasts to see how they have changed over the years. As most of you may have guessed, in the Atlantic Basin and around the world Hurricane Forecasting errors over the past decades have decreased significantly.

The Latest: 2015 Hurricane Season Analysis

Due to the sharp decrease in forecasting errors (for hurricanes) over the past several decades, it is now clearer to forecast hurricane seasons well in advance with more accuracy than ever. First off, Hurricane Season 2015 is expected to at or near average. This may change though if there is a stronger El Nino to occur, but at the moment, the El Nino is relatively weak. The odds of a tropical disturbance impacting the Mid Atlantic or New England coastline may be slightly elevated, but is very different in terms of percentage wise than average. We will keep you updated as more information comes out.

The Latest: Warm temperatures, then cold temperatures again?

As spring sets in, winter is preparing to make it’s possibly final move on the Northeast US. The possibility of another dip in the Arctic Jet Stream is steadily increasing. So as previously mentioned, don’t put away the winter gear yet.

SPRINGTIME! Wait a second, more snow?… WINTERTIME!

Is winter coming back?

Springtime for now, but what about in a week or two.

The current computer models (again, especially the GFS) are suggesting that another large large dip in the Jet Stream is imminent, bringing with it, cold, winter temperatures, along with the possibility of some snow. As said many times before, DO NOT PUT AWAY THE WINTER GEAR! Or else you may be sorry if it snows again in your area.

Stay safe!

People want spring, people don’t want mud, people don’t like rain, complaints etc.

Why do people want something so badly, then complain about it all day?

This is what spring is: Mud, rain, mud, rain, warmer temperatures, rain.

Although it can be easy to understand why people may enjoy the warmer temperatures, why do people enjoy spring in general? Is it because it leads into summer? Is it because it leads out of winter? Overall, after a harsh winter, the reality is, people want to move around outdoors. That is what we have found on why people enjoy, but complain, about spring.

Across the Northeast today we advise to wear rain gear.

The Latest: Snow is still a future potential, but for now, warm temperatures across the Northeast

March 25, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperaturesLeave a comment

Although there is a possibility of some snow in the very near future, the warm temperatures are here now (only about, well, a few weeks late…)

The Latest: Computer models

The latest runs of the GFS model have been changing fairly significantly over the past several days, it is a good thing to know when to take a run suggesting seriously or not to create the most accurate forecast models. So, currently, there aren’t any major winter storms being suggested by any of the major computer models. But as always, stay updated, and overall stay safe!

The Latest: Crash of German Wings plane

Due to the latest breaking news, it no longer seems as if the weather had much to play in the crash. We’ll keep you posted.

Flooding concerns in the Northeast

March 25, 2015Posted in UncategorizedTagged forecasts, high temperatures, low temperatures, rain showersLeave a comment

As temperatures warm and rain moves in, not many places in the Northeast will be under slight drought conditions for long.

As the title of this post suggests, melting snow along with several different rain events with warmer temperatures over the next couple of days will cause localize flooding creating hazardous driving conditions. Be careful and do not drive through even what appears to be only slightly flooded areas.

Over the next couple of days there will be warm temperatures, but we do not advise putting away all the winter gear yet, for there may be another big dip in the Jet Stream soon…
